Slutsk belts – Belarusian products of hand weaving of the 2nd half of the XVIII – 1st half of the XIX centuries. They got their name after the town of Slutsk (in the Minsk region), where in 1758 the hetman of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Prince Michael Casimir Radziwill organized production of the belts and soon they replaced imported eastern belts, became a part of a rich Belarusian, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian men's suit. Slutsk belts were woven from silk, golden and silver threads, they were usually two-sided, very long (2-4.5 m) and wide (30-50 cm); their sides were decorated with patterned narrow border, their ends had rich, mostly floral, ornament with Belarusian folk patterns combined with oriental motifs. Highly esthetic Slutsk belts became very popular. In the 2nd half of XIX – early XX centuries similar products with the same name of «Slutsk belts» were also produced in Nesvizh, Warsaw, Krakow and other cities.
